NOVEMBER 4 2010 336
The Public Agenda Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:34 a.m. on
Thursday, November 4, 2010, by Board President Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members Donald E.
Inks and Carl P. Littrell present. Also present was Board Attorney Cheryl Greene. Board of
Public Works Clerk, Linda M. Martin, presented the Board with a proposed agenda of items
presented by the public and by City Staff,
APPROVAL OF REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR THE RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS — NEW
SYNTHETIC TURF PLAYING SURFACE — COVELESKI STADIUM — PROJECT NO. 110 -
008J (SBCDA TIC
In a memorandum to the Board, Mr. Bill Schalliol, Community & Economic Development,
requested permission to advertise for the receipt of proposals for the above referenced project.
Mr. Littrell stated this will be awarded based on a point scoring system, not necessarily the
lowest proposal. Attorney Cheryl Greene stated she would check the law regarding the time table
for Requests for Proposals. Upon a motion made by Mr. Inks, seconded by Mr. Littrell and
carried, the above request was approved.
APPROVAL OF REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR THE RECEIPT OF BIDS --- DEMOLITION
OF 621 SCOTT STREET FORMER MILLENNIUM ENVIRONMENTAL SITE
REMEDIATION — PROJECT NO. 110 -078 (CODE NSP FUND
In a memorandum to the Board, Mr. Rob Nichols, Engineering, requested permission to
advertise for the receipt of bids for the above referenced project. Therefore, upon a motion made
by Mr. Inks, seconded by Mr. Littrell and carried, the above request was approved.
APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTSICONTRACTSIPROPOSALS /ADDENDA
The following Agreements /Contracts /Proposals /Addenda were submitted to the Board for
approval by Mr. Bill Schalliol, Community and Economic Development. Mr. Gregg Zientara,
City Controller, questioned what would happen if the Common Council does not approve the
Bond that will be funding the Coveleski Stadium project. Mr. Inks stated the Board of Works
should approve the Proposal from Wightman Petrie, subject to the appropriation of funds by the
Council. Mr. Zientara questioned if by approving, are TIF funds committed and does that allow
for the contractor to place a claim against the City. Mr. Inks noted some work has already been
done under this contract and the City already owes the contractor money. Board Attorney Cheryl
Greene noted it is the Redevelopment Commission that approves TIF funds. Mr. Inks added in
case the Council does not approve the Bond, this should be approved granting the City to stop
any future work. Mr. Dave Rafinski, Wightman Petrie, informed the Board that most of the
proposed elements in the hard design and the Synagogue design are already done; the outfield
wall bids will be opening; and the turf bids are already out for bid. He noted $330,000 of work is
already done. Mr. Rafinski stated it was necessary in order to meet the July 4, 2011 deadline, to
begin the process. Mr. Zientara questioned if this is a normal process. Mr. Inks stated it is normal
to go out for bids on a Bond issue before the Council approves the bond funding. He stated his
motion to approve is subject to the City's ability to stop the work if the Council does not approve
the bond funding.

PUBLIC AGENDA SESSION NOVEMBER 4 2010 337
AW ARDDQUOTATION — MORRIS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AWNING REPAIR_
In a Memorandum to the Board, Mr. Rob Nichols, Engineering, advised the Board that it was
brought to his attention by Mr. Dennis Andres, Morris Performing Arts Center Director, that the
awnings were falling off of the building. After inspecting the site, Mr. Nichols obtained three (3)
quotes to repair the supports. After reviewing those quotations, Mr. Nichols recommended that
the Board award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Ziolkowski
Construction, 1005 South Lafayette Blvd., South Bend, Indiana, 46601, in the amount of
$10,360. Therefore, Mr. Gilot made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the
quotation be awarded as outlined above. Mr. Inks seconded the motion, which carried.
Board members discussed the following items from the agenda:
- Ratify Professional Services Proposal — Design of East Bank Sewer Separation
Mr. Gregg Zientara, City Controller, questioned whether the budget was in place for this
project with Lawson - Fisher Associates. Mr. Nichols stated the funding should be
changed to 2007 Sewer Bond. Mr. Zientara stated that would be a more appropriate
source of funding.
- Change Order — Memorial Hospital Streetscapes Improvements
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, noted this increase in the scope of work is due to an issue in
the design of the project. It was discovered that AT &T had a line five (5) feet down at the
east curb line of a proposed seven (7) foot deep storm sewer. Mr. Gilot questioned how
that happens. Mr. Villa stated AT &T said they provided a drawing to the architect, the
architect said they didn't receive a drawing. Mr. Villa noted the drawings don't show the
depth measurements on AT &T lines. Mr. Villa stated there will be more change orders on
this project due to problems on Madison and Main Streets with drainage. Mr. Littrell
questioned what the over -runs would be and noted they may affect the award of Phase II.
Mr. Villa stated he is hopeful with the over -runs and under -runs, the project will be on
budget. Mr. Villa noted the changes will delay the completion of the project until next
year. Mr. Gilot informed the Board that Memorial Hospital is working with the City on
making their parking lot a green project example. He noted they are using a combination
of porous and pervious concrete, and concrete blocks for drainage into a rain garden, and
eliminating underground drainage systems. Mr. Inks questioned if this costs less. Mr.
Gilot noted it actually costs more, but is a better, cleaner system.
- Professional Services Agreement — Emergency Leak Detection for Water Systems
Mr. Bob Krol, Water Works, stated that ME Simpson has leak detection equipment that
the City does not have. He stated this leak detection service saves a lot of time and money
in locating the source of water leaks that otherwise take needless drilling and time spent
searching for the source. Mr. Gilot added this is a specialized service.
- Bid Award Extension — Ductile Iron Pipe
Mr. Bob Krol, Water Works, informed the Board that Water Works is again requesting to
extend their bid award to Underground Pipe and Valve another year for the purchase of
ductile iron pipe. Mr. Krol stated Underground Pipe and Valve has offered to extend their
pricing discount offered in 2007 to the City which will result in substantial savings to the
City.
- Resolution No. 70 -2010 — Approving a Policy for the Sewer Insurance Program
Mr. Gilot informed the Board that there is an Ordinance in place regarding Sewer
Insurance, now a Policy is being drawn up based on that Ordinance, with the intent to
coach the Sewer staff on the policy, and allow for some leeway on that policy.
- Addendum to Agreement — Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc.
Mr. Inks informed the Board that this addition of the property at 632 Portage Avenue was
for a house that burned and needed to be demolished. Mr. Gilot noted the owners were
part of the City's Curb and Sidewalk program and still had a small balance to pay off. He
requested the balance be waived in light of the loss of their property.
- Alley Vacation Request — North/South Alley from Bryan Street North to the East/West Alley,
East of Inglewood and West of Sherman
Mr. Littrell informed the Board that the petitioner, Willie Rogers, would need to close the
curb and sidewalk across the alley approach, and get the approval of the neighbors on the
location of the fence.

PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO. 71 -2010 —1050 BURNS AVENUE
Mr. Gilot opened the Public Hearing, advising that this was the date set for the Board's Public
Hearing concerning Resolution No. 71 -2010, Award of Damages on Account of Exercise of
Eminent Domain at 1050 Burns Avenue. Cheryl Greene, Board Attorney, informed the Board
that they have a choice of using the regular eminent domain statute or an expedited process
provided when the Board is acquiring the property to "open, change, lay out, or vacate a street,
an alley, or other public right- of-way" (IC 32- 24 -2 -6). Since both properties are being taken for
use as a street, the expedited process is appropriate she noted. Ms. Greene stated that on June 14,
2010, the Board approved Resolution No. 38 -2010, stating its intent to acquire the properties.
The Board heard remonstrances as to this issue on July 12, 2010 and adopted Resolution No. 43-
2010 confirming the original resolution. The Board subsequently adopted Resolution No. 67-
2010 for the Curry property and Resolution No. 68 -2010 for the Kariuki property specifying the
amount of damages and setting a hearing on those damages for today. Ms. Greene informed the
Board that all the procedures of the statute have been followed, and at today's Hearing the only
action for the Board is to "sustain, or modify the damage awards ". If the property owner
disagrees with the Board's decision, the property owner has twenty (20) days to file an appeal
with a court. Ms. Greene noted the appeal affects only the assessment or award of damages. Mr.
Jaynes Masters, Attorney for Mr. Curry, was present and addressed the Board. He noted that the
letter of remonstrance he had forwarded to the Board had an error in paragraph four (4). The
second line should state "the Board of Public Works is following a statutory procedure that does
not apply..." Ms. Greene requested Mr. Master's summary of the remonstrances be incorporated
into the legal record for both parties. She noted the Board will consider each property separately
so they should be discussed individually. Assistant City Attorney Larry Meteiver addressed the
Board stating he would first discuss Resolution No. 71 -2010 regarding 1050 Burns Ave., owned
by Mr. Wayne Curry. Mr. Meteiver stated Resolution No. 67 -2010 was adopted by the Board on
October 25, 2010 establishing acquisition costs at $114,000.00. The staff negotiated to come up
with a purchase price and comparables within a six mile radius were evaluated. Subsequently
$209,900.00 was offered to Mr. Curry on September 10, 2010 for his property. The offer was
rejected by Mr. Curry, and his attorney Mr. James Masters has filed a remonstrance on behalf of
Mr. Curry. Mr. Meteiver stated the only issue for the Board today is to establish the amount of
the award of damages sustained. Mr. Masters informed the Board that there is a process of law
involved that must be gone through before going to court and the City is not following the proper
process in the taking of these properties. He stated the City is following the process for the taking
of property for the purpose of laying out a street, and in this situation the property is being taken
for the development of a private subdivision, not for a municipality. Mr. Masters noted the
subdivision site plan shows Mr. Curry's property to be incorporated within new subdivision lots
that will be developed by a private developer. For that reason, Mr. Masters noted, the taking is
governed by the eminent domain statute. Mr. Masters noted the Statute requires the City to look
at all good faith alternatives, including the consideration of a reasonable alternative to the
exercise of eminent domain. He stated the City failed to consider the reasonable alternative of
relocating Mr. Curry's home to another comparable lot in the proposed new subdivision. Mr.
Masters stated there is no statutory provision or any other legal authority for the Clerk of the
Board of Public Works to execute the proposed "Clerk's Deed" to transfer Mr. Curry's real
estate to the City of South Bend. He added that should the Board of Public Works and the Clerk
cause such executed documents to be recorded, that action will be a cloud on Mr. Curry's
property and will be considered the basis for legal action against the City. He noted any attempt
to take possession of Mr. Curry's property will be considered to be trespassing and will be dealt
with as such according to law. Mr. Meteiver stated the Resolution before the Board contains
alternatives of confirming or modifying the amount offered. He noted at the prior public hearing
on the taking, the issue of laying out a street was discussed. He noted Mr. Masters stated the City
REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 8,2010 343
shouldn't be using this process, but the process cited by Mr. Masters is for private properties and
that is clearly not the case in this instance. He added that Mr. Masters has not offered an
alternative amount for damages even after receiving an approved offer of $209,900.00. Board
Attorney Cheryl Greene stated that a drawing has been provided to the Board showing how the
properties are included in the public right-of-way, Mr. Inks questioned Mr. Masters if there are
thoughts as to appropriate damages. Mr. Masters stated it is not his client's burden to come up
with an amount. He added there should be three appraisals if following appropriate procedures.
Mr. Gilot questioned whether the $209,900.00 amount is for damages and relocation. Ms. Hedy
Robinson, Community and Economic Development confirmed that it was and it was based on
comparable properties within a six (6) mile radius. She noted had they used comparables in the
surrounding area of Mr. Curry's property, the appraisals would have been much lower. Mr. Gilot
asked if there was anyone else present that wished to speak and finding there was not, he closed
the Public Hearing. Mr. Inks made a motion the Board approve the award of damages for the
property at 1050 Burns Avenue in the amount of $114,000.00 through Resolution No. 71 -2010.
Mr. Gilot seconded the motion, which carried, and the following resolution was approved:

PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO. 72 -2010 W --1054 — 1056 BURNS AVENUE
Mr. Gilot opened the Public Hearing, advising that this was the date set for the Board's Public
Hearing concerning Resolution No. 72 -2010, Award of Damages on Account of Exercise of
Eminent Domain at 1054 - 1056 Burns Avenue. Attorney Larry Meteiver noted this is very
similar to the prior matter of Resolution No. 71 -2010, for property at 1050 Burns Avenue. The
first offer to the property owners, Sam and Betty Kariuki was on June 17, 2010 in the amount of
$74,000.00. Subsequent negotiations with staff and appraisals based on a six (6) mile radius
resulted in an offer of $145,000.00 on September 10, 2010, to include relocation. Mr. Masters
stated without repeating everything already said, remonstrances have been filed in a timely
manner and now it is up to the Board to decide what procedure they will follow. Board Attorney
Cheryl Greene requested that Mr. Master's arguments be included in the record, just as the
Board's arguments be included. Mr. Gilot questioned whether comparables had been looked at in
this neighborhood. Ms. Hedy Robinson, Community and Economic Development, stated they
looked at a six (6) mile radius. She noted had they looked in the immediate neighborhood, the
comparables would have come in lower. Mr. Gilot stated if there was nobody else that wished to
speak on the matter, he would close the Public Hearing. Therefore, Mr. Inks made a motion that
the Board approve the award of damages for the taking of property located at 1054 -1056 Burns
Avenue in the amount of $74,000.00 in the form of Resolution No. 72 -2010. Mr. Gilot seconded
the motion, which carried, and the following Resolution was approved:
